It includes three matte-specific products that cover every situation your finish is likely to face, plus a 480gsm microfibre cloth included free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eWhy Matte Paint Requires Specific Products\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eMatte paint looks the way it does because the surface is intentionally textured at a microscopic level, causing light to scatter rather than reflect cleanly. That scattered light creates the flat, sophisticated finish matte is known for, and it's exactly what you need to protect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eMost car care products are designed to do the opposite. Gloss enhancers, shine additives, waxes, and polish all work to smooth and brighten surfaces. On matte paint, repeated use can gradually alter the finish, leading to uneven, faded, and patchy areas that can't be polished back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe products in this kit contain none of that. The formulas are pH-neutral, free of gloss enhancers and shine additives, and designed to clean matte surfaces without touching what makes them matte. It's also safe for satin paint, satin wraps, and satin PPF.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eCleaning Kit Inclusions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAutostolz Matte Snow Foam 500ml: \u003c\/strong\u003eYour pre-wash. Apply with a foam cannon or foam gun before you touch the car. Dense, cling foam dwells on the surface and loosens contamination so it rinses away rather than gets dragged across your paint. Reduces scratch risk before the contact wash even begins. Optional but genuinely worthwhile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAutostolz Matte Auto Wash 500ml:\u003c\/strong\u003e Your contact wash. pH-neutral, high lubrication, matte-safe formula for routine washing in a bucket, foam gun, or foam cannon. No gloss enhancers, no dyes, no residue. Cleans your matte finish and leaves it exactly as it should be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAutostolz Matte Quick Detailer 500ml: \u003c\/strong\u003eYour between-wash solution and on-the-go safety net. Safely removes dust, fingerprints, water spots, and light contamination without adding any shine. Keep this bottle and the Pegasus Cloth in your car — if a bird gets your paint while you're out, you can deal with it safely on the spot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRockcar Pegasus Microfibre Cloth 480gsm (complimentary)\u003c\/strong\u003e: Exceptionally soft, fully edgeless, 480gsm, and colour matched to Pegasus Bay Pinot Noir. Ideal for use with the Quick Detailer, and gentle enough for the most delicate matte surfaces. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eYour complete matte wash routine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eUsed together, these three products give you a proper, complete approach to matte care:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1. Pre-wash:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eFoam the car with Matte Snow Foam. Allow 5 minutes dwell. Rinse thoroughly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2. Contact wash:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eWash with Matte Auto Wash using a soft wash mitt and two-bucket method. Rinse and dry with a deep soft microfibre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3. On the go:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eKeep the Matte Quick Detailer and Pegasus Cloth in the car for safe spot cleaning anytime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThat's it. Simple, effective, and everything your matte finish actually needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eA Note on Wash Technique\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eGood products work best with good technique. A soft wash mitt, two-bucket method with grit guards, straight-line washing, and careful drying with a deep-pile microfibre all help reduce the risk of fine scratches that are harder to address on matte than on gloss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eIf you're unsure whether this product is right for you, our team is happy to assist. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/store.milescontinental.co.nz\/pages\/contact-our-shop\"\u003eContact us\u003c\/a\u003e for advice!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Miles Continental Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52926527832288,"sku":"ZMATTEESSENTIALS","price":95.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/6703\/5104\/files\/autostolz-matte-essentials-kit-complete-matte-paint-wrap-ppf-care-kit-autostolz-kits-zmatteessentials-lovecars-3651840_1400x1400_feb7f973-9276-4ca1-872b-8161df650e99.webp?v=1780355651","url":"https:\/\/store.milescontinental.co.nz\/products\/autostolz-matte-essentials-kit","provider":"Miles Continental Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
